More fun than almost every other team.

Over at Ida Davidsen's, it's Roadblock time and the team member has to remember four different sandwich order numbers and then memorize and recite the number and all the ingredients to Ida. Kym steps up and proclaims to Ida that she's about to be her worst waitress ever. Despite an initial flub, Kym seems to have taken a very measured and careful approach and it pays off. They get their clue punting them to the Pitstop at VM Houses.

The cyclists are heading to Phil before any of the others have finished the Detour. That, kids, is the benefit of not only getting on the first flight but running a near flawless leg. Phil rewards them with a first place finish and a pair of new cars.

Super Fannies have caught up somewhat and joined the others at Parking Space. Amy & Maya successfully recreate their living room parking space and get their clue. Nearly simultaneously, Brooke has given her arms quite the workout by balance the cake all the way to the restaurant. They get their receipt signed and then their clue from the bakery.

At this point, we are treated to the clip of Jim's proclamation of desired dominance, which is then followed by them getting denied again and then deciding to bail on the task and switch to Cake. Maybe that bakery sells humble pie.

The Survivors have now finished and it's clear that the living room setting was the less tricky one. Both Team TNT and the surfers keep getting denied for the same flower pot problem as the dentists.

At the Roadblock, Maya is peppily trying to memorize the ingredients when Robbie and Whitney join the task. Robbie explains that he's not sure how this is going to go since wrestling inherently comes with a lot of hits to the head. But, as we've come to expect from him, he is having fun with each dramatic and /or comedic delivery of the ingredients, even though he's wrong.

Maya, on the other hand, is simply a distraction to Whitney because the candy girl's audible muttering is throwing the blonde off.

Back-to-back-to-back, the Super Fannies, Adam & Bethany and Tim & Te Jay all conquer the Parking Space. The light bulb moment for TNT and Hang Ten came at the right time, because they need to get to the Roadblock soon as the three teams there are about to leave.

Maya's innocent look of confusion when the customer pretends that the order is wrong was just adorable. I really don't know if she and Amy and make it to the end, but I am rooting for them as the underdogs this season. Goofball Robbie finally gets it, as does Whitney. It's a battle for second through fourth place.

And running to the mat in second place is Tag Team. I hope Brooke & Robbie stick around, because I am enjoying this couple that I initially thought I would hate. In third we get Keith & Whitney (who were surprisingly low-key this week) and Amy & Maya in fourth.
